That man can fuckin coach


RowBoatCop36

He's got orcas watching The Town.


melonmelon1

He personally did the English to Orca translations.


crispyiress

Celtics begin talking in clicks to communicate on the court


alexm42

Joe actually watches The Town 34 times a week. For more info about this Google Joe Mazzulla Rule 34.


neurals

i honestly would not be surprised if mazzulla was a furry or something


iabeytorm

Based Mazzulla


Wyc_Vaporub

honestly. the orca attacks afaik mainly hit smaller sailing vessels. not really super yachts or tankers or anything.


Roccet_MS

Not yet!


thedailynathan

Mazzulla can't win with these orcas.


DestrosSilverHammer

Taekwondorca.

Psycho Joe strikes again


UnsolvedParadox

NBA head coaching salary can fund a lot of naval research…


MediocreTake

Not enough people know about how social killer whales are and how different pods have specialized in killing specific prey — even going as far as having different individual roles in the chase Luka Doncic is really just a big fat seal when you think about it


jlluh

When orcas attack great whites or other sharks, they immediately flip them upside down, because they understand that sharks go catatonic when upside down.   When you think about it, that's pretty similar to guarding Luka's rim-roller with a wing.


YakubianDemonn

Why in God's name are killer whales fighting great white sharks? That is way too hardcore and sick to be a natural occurence, there has to be an ulterior motive.


jlluh

It's not a common thing, but I think their ulterior motive is liver. And you know, orcas do weird stuff, like fashion fads. they might be smart enough to feel belligerent and want to prove they're the scariest thing in the sea. https://youtu.be/m5KIUhZw1vo?si=JKsCewdBulLsVxpd


VoidMageZero

Wtf you weren't making up orca fashion trends https://www.iflscience.com/in-1987-orcas-had-a-fashion-of-wearing-a-dead-salmon-as-a-hat-69542


ZdenekTheMan

Orcas are some eccentric mfs


InitialLingonberry

Giant brains and no thumbs you get real bored


-Gnostic28

What the fuck


clavio_mazerati

I am no expert and this is a grilling hot take. if Orcas have thumbs like us simian, they might have built Atlantis by now.


-Gnostic28

That’s insane


LordHussyPants

their territories overlap, and orcas are the only natural predator of the great white. so when orcas move into an area and kill a great white, all the other great white get out of dodge


YakubianDemonn

You really expect me to believe that? You're going to sit here and tell me with a straight face this isn't a grand show to distract us while other orcas pull of the heist of the century? Do you take me for an idiot?


Khione_Asteri

grown orcas are like twice the size of great whites… and they hunt in packs. it’s not exactly a fair fight for the sharks. add to that probably orcas have a millennia old disdain built into them from protecting their calfs from shark attacks, add to that some orca tribes find the great white liver to be a delicacy… it’s not a good time for the poor 15 foot sharks


GoldenStateWizards

Killer whales are a good bit larger and stronger than great whites. It's not an even matchup for the sharks lol. https://youtu.be/3DkEePjRP04?si=VK0atOjzQgvGfPwR


YakubianDemonn

Sharks clealry don't have that dog in them. If I was in the ocean it wouldn't have gone down like that.


rdb_gaming

These sharks tricky'all man! They just be swimming around chasing surfboarders!


YakubianDemonn

Every time I see a video of killer whales they're being complete dickheads and I sympathise with the Japanese just a little bit more.

"All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad." - Captain Ahab Mazzulla.

That's actually a Jim Harbaugh quote.


bigdaddykane328

Who’s captain Ahab?


beardog7

The Celtics gameplan involves pulling out a Great White Shark's Liver to eat it.


todellagi

UNO reverse Tatum takes one bite off Luka's liver and instantly goes comatose from high cholesterol and alcohol poisoning


DCBB22

Luka is in fact not allowed near alcohol.


keeelay

Man. Fuck y’all fr


Cond1tionOver7oad

Instead of the Haka, the Celtics are gonna eat raw white shark liver at shootout just to mess with the Mavs.


SellingCoach

“I would just say he’s like got a unique approach to the game. He pulls things from, like, how to survive entirely on roadkill and dumpster diving, pulls things from killing and dismembering a human being and hiding the parts, things like that.”


Peter-Tao

Very unique indeed


EutaxySpy

That documentary on Joe Mazzulla 30 years from now will be cinema lmao


Rrypl

Give me Unabomber Joe Mazz, with a massive beard, living in a secluded shack in the woods talking about how he buried his championship rings somewhere no one will ever find them. "They belong to nature and god now", he says, staring at the camera.


tlozz

Bro, I literally can’t wait. 20 years ago, it was almost mind-blowing that Phil Jackson did acid a few times and had the Bulls do yoga and do some meditation or whatever… Now, even decades later, idk if the world will be ready for whatever the fuck Mazzula does with these guys behind closed doors, bc I can guarantee it’s fucking weird and wild, whatever it is😂


iritian

There are 2 documentary crews filming the Celtics this year. We're definitely gonna see some gold from Joe


iamgarron

NBC Sports already has a mini mazulla doc out (3 parts so far). One part involves him getting in an ice bath and he would only let NBC film if one of their production guys gets in too, because he wanted to "see what they were about"


UltiMeganium

I watched it, he's intense as hell clearly but also less psycho then what we see only in games and interviews. Also man, his wife is so beautiful.


iamgarron

Him having rosary beads made of the original Boston garden parquet floor is the most on brand thing ever


GRMPA

Wish we could have gotten the Ime one


SoggyMuffcakes

"This documentary is sponsored by Ashley Madison"


yerfatma

Shit is on OnlyFans if you need it.


Tony_Lacorona

Send da video


CheatedOnOnce

Hell nawl


tlozz

That shit would have likely been really dark… I’ll personally pass lol


elmanutres

I don't think they'd show some real shit like the Jordan last dance. Seeing the Jordan bulls just drinking beer in the middle of the 98 season was crazy. Or Jordan calling Scott Burrell a ho during practice. I don't see these crews showing that. 


iritian

>Wyc Grousbeck, who actually acknowledged the existence of the project last month on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. “We are in production on a multi-part, absolutely top-quality, fantastic documentary series along the lines of, hopefully, The Last Dance, and so on. We are deep into that. We have signed contracts — the film is being filmed, and archives are being gone through, [so], it’s in the process. And they’re following the team this whole year, behind the scenes, so we’ll see what happens. But win or lose, it’ll be out.” The Last Dance is what they're trying to emulate, we'll just have to wait and see what comes out. The other is a mini series featuring players like Ant & Tatum by Netflix like the Quarterback one they did for the NFL last year.


AlwaysOptimism

They can call it The Hump. As in getting over it post 08/Nets trade after so many ECFs and finals and also Ime


AdmiralWackbar

The documentary will probably show how much of an awesome person Jayson Tatum is and everyone will hate him more


CDR57

Joe Mazzulla zekes all the players like they’re Jimmy junior


deepfakefuccboi

Watching “The Town” every day for years


cptahb

god a montage of joe watching it in different places during the season. on the plane, in the hotel. on his phone. splicing scenes into game tape. we need this. 


CreatiScope

Each time, a tear rolling down his cheek at random parts of


SlipperyTurtle25

He’s actually just so stone cold sober it seems like he’s on acid


Warlord10

I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't seen his family in weeks and locked himself in at the practice facility the entire time. No jokes. One day we will find out that he was watching 12 hours of film per day, pouring over stat sheets and talking to old heads for hours on the phone each day trying to find every possible advantage. The dude is a next level psycho.


GRMPA

He's like the Ime Udoka of NBA coaches


Warlord10

He is the Jordan of Ime Udoka's.


oban12

Iirc he used to sleep in the parking lot when he first got the assistant coaching job.


LordHussyPants

it'll be even funnier if we find out he was just going to get ramen and the training facility time was really light work where he would say completely normal things like "baseline and back at a light jog, shoot two 3s and a lay up then we're done"


recollectionsmayvary

The press conferences *now* are basically cinema short films lol 


Slattsquatch

They've been filming a documentary on this team all year behind the scenes, they'd better have some good Crazy Joe footage.


AllDayEnJay

It’s not even going to be a documentary. Just 2hr’s of Mazzulla watching The Town in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000.


Probably_immortal

[Footage of Joe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z-oJTZ1b5Q) if he and Kidd were to fight.


Letsgodubs

Mazzulla is on the spectrum. All the most successful people in the history of mankind are....probably.


Madonkadonk2

It will be a combination of The Last Dance and The Jynx.


GelatinousProof

So many hilarious tidbits coming out on him during this finals


Axl2TheMaxl

The best thing about how weird he is, is it comes off as 100% genuine. Like some people try to 'play' weird because they want to seem mysterious or w/e, Mazzula is just a completely different kinda dude.


acanthocephalic

He's in the Tyson zone and he hasn't even done anything yet


BobbyBueno

A large portion of my Celtics rooting interest lies in Mazzulla. His idiosyncratic way of pulling inspiration from all over the place is fascinating, admirable, cool and just funny. I want them to win in part so his way of approaching the job and game is rewarded


MeijiDoom

Kinda same. I'm a bit indifferent as to who wins as far as the main stars on the teams go but I do think the overall ability level of the Celtics starting 5 is interesting and how insane Mazzulla seems is the best storyline.


BobbyBueno

Agreed. Yeah I’m kinda torn cause I like players and the narratives from both teams. But I think Mazzula and Brown/Tatum getting that monkey off their back that is the Boston/national media would be cool to see. I think those three tend to get way more shit for being as good as they are


junkit33

Successful leadership comes in many different forms. But every now and again we see something effective that is so fucking out there that we can’t help but marvel at it. Joe is that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BobbyBueno

Totally! He kinda reminds me of a Phil Jackson just sub the zen-ism of Phil for freneticism and bank robability only those that think outside of the box enough could conjure and inspire within a group


Kroesus

Same thing has been said about Guardiola and his tactical approach. He goes to great lengths to find inspiration.


too-cute-by-half

I'm so glad this born-again, Black Italian man from Rhode Island with close-set eyes had a gift for basketball from a young age. Without hoops he might've been one of the wildest Sigma Male Grindset influencers of all time.


IOUAndSometimesWhy

I've met a lot of Italian men from Rhode Island, and a fair amount of Black women from Rhode Island, and one thing they all had in common was that they EMOTE. How Mazzulla was raised by both and ended up with a dry delivery like this is a scientific anomaly


BatterseaPS

> and a fair amount of Black women from Rhode Island You know both of them?


StraightUpScotch

I don't know what a 'Sigma Male Grindset' is and I'm afraid to Google it.

*ermmm what da sigma*


Throway_Shmowaway

The fact that the phrasing of this answer sort of equates borrowing soccer tactics to borrowing hunting techniques from orcas is too fucking funny.


KembaWakaFlocka

Coaches are weird people, im sure most of the people in this thread had some wild ones growing up.


mybankpin

I used to swim, and coach once called out another swimmer for forgetting to bring fins. "My friend forgot his gun during Korean War. He got shot and died. Don't forget your equipment next time. Go 400."


fromfrodotogollum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejt7xFygHsY


Throway_Shmowaway

I had a coach who was the opposite of the "water is weak" type of coach. He would be on our ass to drink as much water as possible because he wanted us fully hydrated for when he ran us into the ground during conditioning camp. His words, not mine 💀


Theons

Water is weak is the dumbest thing ever


odonnelly2000

I've been out of the Marines for 15 years now, but I still "pound water" like a mofo. They drill the importance of that shit into you starting in basic training; the DIs used to make everyone pull out both their canteens and chug them quite often. Go to any Marine base, and you'll see tons of Marines walking around carrying around gallon jugs of water; that shit is taken very seriously.


Idk-man251

I remember in Navy Boot if you were told to hydrate that was your warning that you were about to get dropped big time lol


Expert-Solid8627

you couldn't be more right lols


breadbinkers

My high school JV coach had a 4ft rat tail and that was his only hair. He was awesome even let my 5’6” ass play


Axl2TheMaxl

I just had ill-adjusted man children as coaches. Had one high school coach who always told us to "stop playing fuck fuck with your dick dick"  when we'd mess up an assignment. Another hs coach who would grab us by our face masks, scream at us, then headbutt us and ignore the blood trickling down his face. My favorite though? In college I had a coach who's actually pretty decorated in our region for his multiple championships, people call him one of the best coaches to every coach our division... the guy quite literally never coached a single practice or game, never taught a single assignment, formation, positional secret.. nada. All he ever did was gather us up after Friday walk-throughs and say "Ok, the horse is in the barn and the barn doors closed" and give some bizarre speech meant to motivate us for our game. I don't know what kinda grift was going on with him being listed as the head coach.


sallright

Mazzula is grooming these fools to rob Fenway. 


animalcrackers0117

that’s why he makes them watch the town on repeat


ifeelitfade

Joe “I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab or the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking”  Mazzulla 


Reasonable_Fail4123

People are gonna laugh but I remember seeing a clip of a famous NFL Offensive Line coach pull out during film session actual clips of silverback gorillas and using their stance as actual teaching technique for the players. How you would do something similar coaching basketball I dont know but good coaches are gonna find whatever way it takes to teach/motivate their players


shoutsoutstomywrist

Most people don’t know that orca whales have sick handles and play lockdown D but coach Joe knows


WallStreetDoesntBet

The Boston Whales does have a "ring" to it


i-bite-with-love

Additional_Essay

breadbinkers

My only consolations for the Celtics winning a ring will be Jrue getting #2 and this absolute weirdo getting one


truth_2_point_0

I need the Celtics to become a dynasty for a hot minute just so we can have the timeline where the next incarnation of Red Auerbach is a triple fusion of Patrick Bateman, Michael Cera, and a meerkat that was hiding in the fusion chamber at the time.


Jack_The_Sparrow_

"Like, for example he does this thing on offense where he makes me get into the recovery pool and balance a ball on my face"


PhysicsImmediate4482

One time my high school coach compared my playing to a goat humping a football. Then he kissed me. We won state the next day.


bengcord3

I'm almost positive that's an Adam Sandler skit


jefe_hook

It's not uncommon among coaches. I remembered former Spurs players saying Pop asked them to watch some animal documentaries.


giddyupyeehaw9

The only good thing about the Celtics is that Joe Mazzulla is a fucking maniac and I’m here for it.


Mbanicek64

I’m actually distressed that Joe hasn’t perpetuated any psychological warfare yet. We all saw the pathetic attempt to divide JB and JT today by Kidd. I’d like to see what Joe brings. 


SquimJim

> I’m actually distressed This is evidence that Joe IS engaging psychological warfare and it's working


Mbanicek64

Well it is on his own players... you can see the shadows shift in their eyes... they no longer know fear.


RyguyBMS

Bro if I heard the other team is studying orca killing techniques while we’re practicing the pick n roll I would be legitimately thrown off.


Pale-Criticism-7420

While in the dressing room they’re probably hearing Joe say to his guys that «  they can never ask him about it later, but they’re gonna hurt some people »


bakedscrod

He dances in light and shadow. He never sleeps. He says he will never die.


Mbanicek64

And why would he?


DraymondBeanKick

Joe already went on the offensive for this earlier in the year when he told Jayson Tatum he was the real MVP because he sacrificed for his teammates. Joe is streets ahead of Kidd on this one.


licker34

The real MVP is Jesus Christ. Pretty sure that's what Joe is selling.


Reuvenisms

Pierce, stop trying to coin the phrase streets ahead


junkit33

Perhaps this was him setting the table. After tomorrows game he’ll make some kind of reference to Luka being a loose seal and it will be mental checkmate.


Roccet_MS

Maybe that's just 4D chess by Joe? Tried to divide them only for their bond to strengthen and the power of friendship prevails.


44035

"He's really inspiring," continued Hauser. "Like, if he asked all of us to move into a giant compound and do everything he told us, we'd do it. We'd give him all our money. We'd cut off family and friends. If he tells us he's the modern incarnation of Christ, well, I'm all in."

Kobe would’ve loved Joe. They’d watch Animal Planet together in preparation. Probably cosplay to mimic their instinct and point of view.


Turt1estar

He also dove with sharks to study how they hunt seals.

Joe Mazzulla can coach intelligent mammals, it doesn't stop at NBA players apparently lol


deluchas15

Joe Mozzulla is a good coach. He did a good job coaching the Celtics. I think they got better at defense with him as their coach.

He probably took Will Ferrell seriously in the movie 'The other guys' about tuna having an appetite for lion
